Who “grew up in a B-movie” in Joliet, Illinois? How did Bob Dylan help the newly-named Scarlet overcome her first night Rolling Thunder nerves? Why did she carry that dagger in her waist? Which ex-Dylan guitar slinger did she work with in Oslo? What was Joni Mitchell’s best quality? Which Boston bluegrass band made her sing a Johnny Cash song? Did she invent Goth?

Recorded virtually in London, Bristol and Los Angeles.

Produced by Robin Guise.

Which Beat writers loom heavily over Sam Shepard’s Rolling Thunder Logbook? Did Sam Shepard’s inner voice actually channel Woody Allen? Which first-time director fled the set of his own movie? Whose dog got walked by Louie The Fish? Which music journalist got the death stare from Paul McCartney? Which Dylan monologue incorporates monkeys in space? How does Shakespeare’s Sonnet 97 figure in all of this?

Is Watching The River Flow about the challenges of meditation, the confusion of writer’s block or being a workaholic? What was the first non-Columbia Records studio Dylan recorded at? Is “factoid” a word? How does Dylan not create a scene? Who might be the reincarnation of Paul Revere’s horse? Does the song’s ending resemble a Buddhist text? How can we be like water?

Does the singer regret being given Shelter From The Storm? Which Shakespeare play is referenced right off the bat? Who is “she”? How does the concept of grace apply? Who wanted to take one more journey into the woods? What’s the purpose of “non-eventful morn”? What’s the earthier meaning of “futile horn”? Who was bushwhacked on the prairie?
